Android 2.3 or Gingerbread is installed on 54.9% of all Android
devices, while Android 2.2 or Froyo is installed on another 30.4% of
all Android devices, which makes Android perhaps the least fragmented
it’s ever been.
According to the latest data from Android Developers,
out of all the older and now obsolete Android versions only Android 2.1
or Eclair has a significant market share – 8.5%, while earlier versions
have less than 2% put together.
Of course, this almost ideal situation – given how badly the Android
platform has been fragmented at certain points in the past – won’t last
long. The newer versions – Android 3.0, 3.1, 3.2 and 4.0 are looming
behind the corner, and most upcoming Android devices run or at least
support one of these.
Curently, neither Android 3.x nor Android 4.0 has a significant
market share, but this will change drastically in 2012, and the cycle
will begin anew, for better or for worse.
